The Man Named Jesus

Sometimes when the road gets short and your body becomes weary It seems difficult to keep your eyes open There is someone who will carry you Have you met the man named Jesus? Not the man of churches He's not waiting to rain down fire He wishes to embrace you in his arms Forgiveness and rest are his to give Have you met this man named Jesus? Your burdens may be heavy There is no reason to carry them alone You can give them all to him He's a God of flesh and bone Have you met the man named Jesus Have you accepted the gift that he offers? Fully paid through his great sacrifice Not a religion a relationship He will never let you down He is the man named Jesus He knows everything about you He accepts you as you are It's not about being good enough He patiently waits at your door Respond to the gentle knocking You won't be alone anymore Religion teaches us we have to earn our way to heaven. God knows this is an impossible task for us humans. I am thankful that Jesus paid the price for our salvation and I accept his amazing gift. Have you met the Man names Jesus?

Perhaps that is why we feel connected, we have the same Brother and Father.
